[/u][/url], b. 9 April 1833 in South Carolina, or her younger sister Nancy Younge [Boyd} Richey, b. 11 September 1839 in Mississippi to Mary [McDowell] and Andrew Boyd, Jr. 2. "Ellen is dead." - Ellen Louella LuVicy [Vick] Marquis, b. 1858-1859 at Starkville, Oktibbeha County, Mississippi to Mary Caroline [Boyd] and Little Berry Fletcher Vick. 3. "Ellen...died yesterday evening about three oclock." - Since the date on the letter is March 11th 1879, she apparently died on 10 March, 1879. 4. "Her baby died the night before about 9 oclock." - Son of Ellen Louella LuVicy [Vick] and Joseph E. Marquis, born Abt. 30 January 1879, died March 9, 1879, apparently unnamed. 5. "It...sick with hives and then took the Eresipelas about a week before it died." - See next message "ERYSIPELAS" for a contemporary (1876) description of this disease, which has taken the life of one of the grandchildren of Mary Caroline {Boyd] and Little Berry Fletcher Vick that we know of! 6. "Ella..." Ellen Louella LuVicy [Vick] Marquis - [See 2) above]. 7. "...it taken me and Joe Marquis and another one or two..." - Ellen's older brother Joseph Henry Vick, b. 16 April 1852, Starkville, Oktibbeha County, Mississippi to Mary Caroline [Boyd] and Little Berry Fletcher Vick, and Ellen's husband Joseph E. Marquis, b. 1825-1856 in Alabama. They were married 12 August 1874 in Lee County, Texas. 8. "Grandmother Martha died...two or three weeks ago with Pneumonia." - Martha Caroline [Walker] Vick, b. 1810 in North Carolina to Henry Walker and his wife. She died 19 February 1879 according to Lou Vicy Jane [Vick] Sikes/Sykes in Vick Letter #17, previously commented on. 9. "...Kate McKell and Dave McKell...married" - This is not clear to me! Did Kate ? marry Dave McKell? Or, did Kate and Dave McKell, possibly brother and sister, each marry someone else? 10. " Joe H. Vick" - Joseph Henry Vick (See 7) above). [/ul] [/size][/quote] |
